I seem to remember there being a few SA-5 GAMMON (S-200) in the same area many years back and was only replaced by S-400 SA-21 GROWLER recently. Considering SA-5 Dubna can carry a 25kt nuke tip, there isn't exactly a huge escalation here (unless, of course you are trying to shift your odious daily rag with sensationalism). I'm not sure if S-400 is nuke capable as well, but I know that S-300 that it is based upon can carry a nuke tip.
